Mark Lewis: To my colleagues in pediatric oncology, my utmost respect
Mark Lewis shared a post on X:
”To my colleagues in pediatric oncology, my utmost respect.
Cancer can be merciless at any age, of course, but to see the protean potential of growing cells perverted by malignancy is especially tragic.
Thanks for what you do for our youngest patients.

The force that through the green fuse drives the flower
Drives my green age; that blasts the roots of trees

And I am dumb to tell the crooked rose
My youth is bent by the same wintry fever.”
